Which allergies does it cover?
All 14 major allergens, plus other foods you add, intolerances such as lactose or gluten, and preferences such as vegan, halal or kosher.
Which languages are there?
15, including French, Spanish, Italian, German, Greek, Chinese and Japanese. More are planned.
Can I set it up for my family?
Yes. One account holds up to six profiles, each with its own card.
Where is my information kept?
On secure servers in the UK, run by MY ID Ltd, the company behind MyFoodID. We never sell your data. You can delete your account at any time.
